After seeing reviews of the Tesla Autopilot vs Openpilot it became clear to me it is way to early to trust Tesla's Autopilot (and Openpilot).
They both use visuals only and are easily confused when situations are a little different than 'normal'.
I even think Openpilot performed a little better than Autopilot but because Openpilot only has a forward looking camera it fails often on tight corners.
Google on the other hand is aware of the complete 3D surrounding. So even if road marks are gone or are unclear it still can estimate where the vehicle should be on the road.
- jiofih 7y agoTesla’s system can still estimate where the car should be without markings, just like humans do with their vision.
- thdrdt 7y agoWell it you look at some videos you can see that there are times Tesla thinks repair lines are road marks especially when the sun is reflected by the lines. When the car has no real idea of its position in 3D space this gives problems.
